INTP — The Escape Artist
Curious, aloof and quietly experimental.
The Escape Artist treats your home as a laboratory. Doors, bins, gates and cupboards are hypotheses waiting to be tested. It is affectionate on its own terms, largely indifferent to praise, and irresistibly drawn to whatever it isn't allowed to do.
